Applications are now open for Summer Research and Experiential Learning Opportunities (SRELO) through the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. SRELO pairs 40 students, based on competitive application, with IMSA faculty mentors for a two-week on-campus research experience in June 2026 (with an additional online component). Designed to nurture students' interest in advanced topics, the program is open to all rising 11th and 12th grade students living in Illinois, especially students in groups where there is a historical disparity in participation in STEM fields and limited representation at IMSA. Applications are due Feb. 20.
